Soccer, Bank Robberies and the Oldest Trick in the Book

January 26, 2011 by thomas karapatsos Leave a Comment

The struggle always seems to raise its ugly head when you least expect it. The struggle will always use your enthusiasm against you. Let’s face it, everybody “struggles” at some stage.

Your self doubt allows you to commit to unrealistic, overambitious training regimes without the required time or resources. Heck it even knows you can’t sustain the levels of commitment you are forecasting.

After a couple of days and a few more hurdles we inevitably hit the wall. Crash and burn would ring true in this instance.

Let’s deflate our ambitions for just one second. Evolution didn’t magically occur over night, did it?

So what’s the hurry?

If you’re searching for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or that elusive manager waving a million dollar contract you better rethink your journey. If you’re chasing that big pay out or the sponsorship dollars, try and organize a bank robbery instead.

Exchange training and commitment for blueprints, security rosters and floor plans and your chances for instant gratification and the big pay out will increase ten fold.

Think about it!

“May the winds of destiny blow you to the stars.”
